Graduation Week

By Sierra Concha '13

This is the last week the class of 2013 will be walking Red Cloud halls as students.

As this school year comes to an end, the Seniors had their feather tying ceremony on Friday, May 17th. The ceremony also included some fun activities such as the rabbit dance competition and musical chairs.

With Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday being their last days this week, seniors are finally realizing this is it. “I’m pretty excited because high school is finally finished,” said Tatiana Stands ’13. The seniors are cherishing these last moments we have together as a class. Jasa Flanigan is also anxious about graduating, but understands the bittersweet nature of graduation. “I’m happy because I’ll be on my own, but said because I might not see some of my classmates again,” she said. Finals will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday will include periods 4, 5, 6 & 7 finals and Wednesday will conclude with periods 1, 2 & 3.

Baccalaureate Mass will be held on Wednesday, May 22nd at 5:30pm to celebrate the Seniors' last week before they graduate. Graduation will be held this Saturday at 10am in the high school gym. Sierra Concha will start off the ceremony with a Welcoming Speech, Justina Bagola will lead the prayer, Amanda Standing Bear and January Tobacco will have the honor of giving the Valedictorian Speech together, and Mickie Hudspeth will conclude the ceremony with the closing speech.

Congratulations to the Seniors for finishing their high school career. Despite being the smallest class in Red Cloud with the capacity of 32, we are also the closest class, leaving Red Cloud as a family. After four years of hardships, laughter and growing into young adults, we’re finally at the moment we’ve all been waiting for.
